El Centro Regional Medical Center (ECRMC) has launched My IVhealth, an online patient portal for observation patients and those previously admitted to the hospital.

Whether it’s getting lab results, reviewing history of prescribed medications or checking progress notes, ECRMC patients will now have quick and easy access to their personal medical information via a free, secure online portal.

“We want our patients to be active and engaged participants in their healthcare,” said Tomas Virgen, Interim CEO of ECRMC. “Giving them round-the-clock access to their inpatient medical records is part of that open exchange of information.”

Patients can create their My IVhealth account at time of registration or a My IVhealth representative will visit the patient at the bedside to set-up an account that will enable the patient to gain access to the portal once they return home. Patients requiring assistance in accessing their information will be directed to call (760) 482-5070. Once a My IVhealth account has been created, patients will have secure access to:

• Patient demographics
• Care plan
• Lab results
• Clinical notes
• Medication lists
• Upcoming appointments
• Medical document
• Medication allergies

Outpatients visiting our El Centro or Calexico clinics will continue to have access to their medical records via the eClinical Works portal, which will remain separate from My IVhealth.

This is another step taken by ECRMC to provide patients with a free, secure, accessible and convenient way to view their health information and to engage them in their medical care.
